Designated as a "preferred supplier" by the Defense Logistics Agency for the last three years, Hoke credits its on-going quality system improvements to its evolution from an "inspection/detection" based process to one of "quality prevention" by adopting new practices such as statistical process control, design of experiments, strategic process checks, delegated inspection representatives and supplier certification.

Hoke produces Gyrolok compression tube fittings and instrumentation ball, plug, metering and cylinder valves, cylinders and manifolds for the chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, industrial, government and OEM instrumentation markets.
